Good call! Can you post a night shot of the LED headlights' output on the street? I'm really curious to see how they perform.

LEDs are by far the best lights I have seen, not as bright as HIDs on my BMW but greater distance and the high beams almost make it seem like day light.

I do wish they swiveled around the turns like my BMW only because the light is so good ahead that the turning view is so poor by comparison. Really a shame this lighting would be fantastic with swivel lights or an added led off to the side which would activate on turning,

No adaptive lighting with the LED's on the MDX? That surprises me. Lexus LED lights, Audi, BMW, all have adaptive lighting.

Hi Rai! How is the MDX holding up? Any recalls or did you have any issues with it?

My mom's 2005 MDX just blew it's transmission and three engine mounts a few miles shy of 100,000. Car had been bulletproof up until now. Now I'm reading transmissions are a weak spot once you hit 100k.
